Chapter Three- Products of War

The three of us girls sat in my room still. Hinata and I were both reading, and Tenten fished around her backpack endlessly.

"Found it!" Tenten exclaimed.

"Great, I was only bored for half my life!" I joked.

"Har, har," Tenten laughed dryly, "you want this thing or not?"

"Yes, please." I smiled with glee as she handed a wrapped object over to me.

"What is that, anyway?" Hinata asked as she put her book down.

"Secrecy is the best policy, Hinata," I stated, "let's just call it…our mama weapon."

"What happened to papa?" Tenten snickered.

"Are you a female or not?" I answered. "We don't need a male named weapon to aid our side."

"You're right, woo, girl power!" Tenten cheered.

"Eleanor Roosevelt, Harriet Tubman, hell, Annie Oakley would be proud!" I declared, which caused all of us to break into a fit of giggles.

Pop!

"What the—" I screeched as the loud noise erupted suddenly from nowhere.

"Shit!" We heard what sounded like Sasuke's muffled curse on the other side of the door.

The three of us exchanged confused glances before I stepped over to the door and threw it open. No one occupied the area, but when I glanced down the hall, I could see someone's leg as they scurried into Naruto's room.

"Lucky bastard escaped." I growled and shut the door.

"What do you think they were planning to do?" Hinata asked.

"Beats me, but it looks like whatever it was blew up in their faces." I shrugged as I closed the door behind me and walked back to my original position.

"Well, I guess if they plan to attack us, then we should attack soon, too!" Tenten announced.

"Well, let's wait on that." I objected. "We need them in just the right position before we can really attack with a full force."

"True, true, and what would that position be, commander?" Tenten giggled.

"Hmmm, I'd say…anywhere that's not too confined. Naruto's room is out of the question because we could be taken down easily; maybe the living room, so we can all attack at once." I inferred.

"Sounds good to me, what about you, Hinata?" Tenten asked as she turned her head to our quiet friend.

"I-I guess so." Hinata stammered. "I'll help you g-guys out, but I-I'm still against all this fighting."

"Alright, oh twisted pacifist," I smiled broadly which made Tenten start laughing and even Hinata let out a small laugh.

"Oh, man, I'm itching for some action, though." Tenten groaned. "What can we do to amuse ourselves before I blow?"

"Truth or dare," I suggested.

"Hmmm…that's kind of for kids, isn't it?" Tenten frowned. (A/N: That has nothing against my truth or dare story!)

"Ummm…random chat," I inquired.

"Oh, I have a random chat idea!" Tenten exclaimed.

Hinata and I looked at Tenten as we waited for her to speak.

"Sakura, when the hell are you going to stop bickering and just kiss that damn Uchiha already, I mean really?" Tenten grinned wolfishly.

I flushed a deep shade of red at Tenten's remark and lunged at my brown-haired friend in an attempt to strangle her.

"Why—the—hell—would I—like—that—bastard!?" I growled viciously.

"Because I know he loooves you," Tenten piped with a broad smile even though I currently sat on her with my hands around her throat.

"What the hell would make you think that?" I leered.

"Because Sasuke's best friends with Naruto, who's close friends with Neji, who's my boyfriend, who talks to me a lot in person and in private chat rooms!" Tenten explained. "I know a lot of secrets; one of them being that Sasuke has his eyes on you!"

"Hinata, there's a bat in the garage, go get it so I can beat some sense into our dear friend." I grumbled angrily.

"But what about the swear of keeping things legal?" Hinata asked.

"I already broke that when I was wrestling with my stupid brother, remember; might as well go for it while I'm already screwed as it is." I replied.

"Oh, come on, Sakura." Tenten huffed and rolled her eyes. "You think I can't tell you're doing a total guy-flirt?"

I raised an inquisitive brow at her statement. "What the hell is that supposed to mean?"

"I mean," Tenten clarified, "that a lot of guys I know flirt by insulting or physical pain to the one they like. You, my friend, are exhibiting case one of the guy-flirt syndrome, or GFS for short."

I snorted my disapproval. "You have one twisted mind, there's no way I'd ever like an ice cube like that Uchiha, and there's no way he'd ever like me."

"Really," Tenten inquired and pulled me closer to whisper in my ear, "then why's he listening at the door right now?"

My eyes widened at her statement. "What are y—?"

"I recognize the bottom of his shoes from underneath the crack in the door." Tenten hissed quietly and placed a finger to her lips.

I glanced at the door and silently rose from my position. I started to slowly walk towards it.

"You are so dead—" I grumbled.

I flung the door open the next second to sure enough see Sasuke crouched in front of the door.

"Uchiha," I shouted heatedly, "you are dead!"

I thought I heard him mutter something along the lines of "fuck" before he scurried off with me on his tail. He dashed into Naruto's room, and just as he managed to get past the door, I caught up to him and gave him a swift kick which sent him tumbling forward onto the floor. Naruto and Neji stared in shock at the sight.

"You fucking bastard!" I screeched. "You do not eavesdrop on girls, especially not us! If I catch you listening in again, your parents can say goodbye to any hope of grandchildren from you!"

I slammed the door shut before any of the boys could retort or comment and stormed back off to my room where Tenten and Hinata were waiting expectantly.

"The war is imminent." I glowered.

"Awesome!" Tenten cheered merrily.

My ears perked up suddenly, I heard the sound of a door opening and closing, then the sound of several footsteps.

"The boys are on the move." I stated. "I bet they're heading to the living room, so it's time for some action."

"Even better than awesome," Tenten grinned.

"Yes, ready the supplies." I ordered as the three of us started moving around to gather what we needed.

About two minutes later, I peeked from around the staircase to see the boys sitting in the living room playing video games. I smirked deviously.

"All set girls?" I whispered.

Both of them nodded their heads to confirm that our plan was ready to be put into action. I held up my hand and slowly brought down one finger at a time in a countdown. In that time, we prepared to use our "weapons" and braced ourselves. My hand finally held up only one finger. I grinned evily and pointed the last finger down the hall.

"Charge now, ladies!" I shouted and sprang forward into the living room.

All the guys noticeably jumped when all three of us leaped out from the hallway and pointed our weapons at the boys. Naruto's eyes widened considerably.

"Aah! They have female products!" Naruto exclaimed.

I laughed maniacally and leaped forward with a hair curler in my hands. Tenten lashed out with her tube of face cream and brush, and Hinata stood back with a can of hair spray outstretched for use like a bottle of pepper spray.

Naruto dived behind a couch and I jumped on top of the cushions to catch him from above, successfully whacking him a couple times. I glanced over at Tenten, who currently held Neji down with her legs and laughed as she occasionally bopped him with the tube of cream or the brush. Sasuke managed to sneak behind me and pulled me backwards which caused me to fall and land on the floor back first. I sprang back up and effectively smacked Sasuke with the hair curler which sent him stumbling back a couple steps; just enough for me to lunge at him and make us both topple to the ground with me on top.

"You sure are feisty." Sasuke commented.

"What do you expect; I get in wrestling matches with my brother. Now shut up while I kick your ass!" I replied.

"Hn, I don't think so." Sasuke retorted as he grabbed my shoulders and rolled us over so he was the one above.

"Ow, ow, ow," I cried, "you're crushing my shoulders!"

Sasuke's eyes widened slightly and I felt his grip loosen. I smiled deviously and reared my leg up to kick him off. Sasuke landed on his side and I stood over him.

"You actually fell for that?" I gasped mockingly. "You are so—"

Sasuke didn't let me finish as he jumped up and pushed me against a wall. He pinned me by my forearms and smirked. In the next instant the smirk faded, he tilted his head slightly and began to inch his face towards mine, I blushed a furious shade of red. Just as he was about a centimeter away, he pulled back and smirked victoriously.

"You actually fell for that?" Sasuke questioned in the same mocking tone I had earlier.

"You freaking basta—"

"Get away from Sakura!" I heard Tenten yell.

The next things that happened were so simultaneous that I couldn't react in time. The brush Tenten had brought with her flew through the air and collided with the back of Sasuke's head. The sudden force made him lurch forward, and our lips connected.

Oh my flippin' god! I actually got this done! I don't know how many days I worked on this thing! My inspiration is trying to bust back out, I can feel it, or this little 'war' would have gone a bit more interesting! (As if I didn't just end it on a cliffhanger…) I thought of the 'female products' war a little while ago, but I probably only came up with this ending about…hell…those two had already started fighting…it was just a spur-of-the-moment idea, but I hope you people liked it! Next will be either the fourth chapter of this or…dun, dun, duuuuun, my sequel to "Truth or Dare: Matchmaker Edition"! I have like…a bit over a page written for the first chapter…but who knows; maybe I'll come up with something. Anyway, that's all for now, I hope you people are pleased!
